IBC calls for review of auto insurance in Newfoundland and Labrador

The Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) is calling for a review of the auto insurance system in Newfoundland and Labrador.

In a press release issued on Monday, IBC noted that drivers in the province pay an average of 40% more for car insurance than drivers in the rest of Atlantic Canada.

IBC is calling for:

• An auto insurance system that provides quick, medically sound rehabilitative care.
• More choices when it comes to where drivers buy auto insurance.
• An auto insurance industry that makes it affordable for uninsured drivers to get insured.
• Cost-control measures to stabilize the rising average cost of auto insurance claims.

It has been 14 years since Newfoundland and Labrador’s auto insurance system was last reviewed.
